A General Strike nationwide needed now to get impeachment to happen?...

Is that what it takes? It is SO frustrating to see daily reports of basic violations of this country's laws and constitution, and each time this happens, it becomes more and more not the America we grew up in. Our leaders, whether Democrat or Republican, seem to not have this on their radar that AMERICA is

PISSED!

at the abuse and lack of regard for a majority of American people that these people in power seem to be more brazen about exhibiting each day.

About the only thing left I think we have is to basically shut the WHOLE THING DOWN! Shut it down! Those of us near DC, and other big cities, all go downtown to protest. Damn the protest permits, etc. They aren't going to grant them for those kind of protests for a full national general strike like this.

The main question is how to organize it. How to do it so that it devastates industry and government function, but doesn't harm the health and well-being of our fellow man out there!

I think perhaps this might be the only way to show them that WE are the boss and they need to be afraid of US, not us afraid of them!!



Maybe we should shoot for September 15th when the planned impeachment protest is going to happen in DC, though that might be a bit soon to get massive participation. Any ideas on how we could get the numbers we'd need of people all just joining us out on the street? Do WE need a pearl harbor event? Not talking about terrorism of course like 9/11, but something to galvanize those of different political stripes to do the right thing.

We basically continue to stay on strike until we hear Nancy Pelosi's filed articles of impeachment in the House for a vote!
